If you're doing commercial development, why is a license (and the attendant support) a big deal? Its cost in relation to that of your developers is neglegable.
Or is the cost of the license really that prohibitive for a well supported and performant piece of software?
[EDIT]: I found the pricing after a bit of creative googling: Startups is about $1,000 a year, non-startups are about $3,500 a year. Even without the discount, that's roughly equivalent to a month of one developer's time. IMO, not a terrible deal, for something you can freely license and use for cross platform development.
